It took me a long time to grasp market economics. I knew it worked somehow but I didn't quite understand why. What really made it click was Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose" TV series[0]. [0] ▶ this video
That is also a fantastic comparison point. The same ideal is part of the idea behind UBI replacing the social welfare bureaucracy. I found this documentary "Freedom to choose" to be really interesting: ▶ this video
"There are no solutions, only trade-offs" 100% based Sowell. I first heard him debate when watching Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose" series (found here: ▶ this video ) and immediately got his books.
